I've tried some hershey's all natural cocoa powder in hot water (plain, or add grass fed butter), and each time, it's given me some nasty watery bowel movements.
Is this due to a magnesium effect or dosage effect, and if it is, does utilizing...

Maybe you could try using raw cocoa powder and make sure to be eating it with other filling, fibrous foods. Chocolate is a muscle relaxant and mild laxative and can cause an effect much like cherry juice or prunes. If you are sensitive try using...

Ok, I never ever thought I'd ask a question about bathroom habits in a public arena. That said, I am asking a question about the yucky stuff. I am on day 6 of Paleo. I have increased my fat intake, at the suggestions of many (I was dizzy, weak,...

Day 6? You have a ways to go.
Understand that digestion is dictated by a whole universe of bacteria whose DNA outnumbers your own human DNA. They have a stake in not only your digestive health, but your immune system and neurological...

For awhile now my poop has had a metallic odor to them. They pass easily, seem well formed and I feel better then ever so Ive just been ignoring it. Does anyone know if this is an issue? I eat mostly organic beef, grass fed lamb, shellfish,...

I just started taking quercetin and noticed a similar smell. I found your forum post while looking for a link between that smell and quercetin intake. I did not find much at all with the exception of you taking it too. A study would be nice so we...

I would consider making small changes at a time. Try adding in just egg yolks. Easiest way is to hardboil and place in cold or ice water for easier peeling.
Eggs and Fish are the keys to get back in. You made a lot of changes all at once. No...

Hello!
I am very new to Paleo - this is only day 3 for me. I'm eating plenty of protein and vegetables and feel better already...however, yesterday my stomach was a bit "off" and today I am having mild stomach pains and IBS type symptoms with...

I would definitely give it more time; it can take a couple of weeks or even longer before you hit a digestive homeostasis. The first few days of paleo can be at best mildly irritating, and at worst, quite uncharitable. Vegetables are a great part...

I think the question is pretty self-explanatory lol since I started strict paleo two weeks ago I've had some trouble with this aspect of the lifestyle.
Also I've heard spinach and coconut flour but nope, don't work for me.
Thanks

Any change in diet can cause funky changes to happen to your digestion. This would explain it if you're new to paleo. Eat plenty of vegetables, homemade bone broth (the geletain will help the muscles in the intestines), get enough probiotics...

A while back I thought I had developed an alergy to eggs (I was not happy as I love eggs). The reason was that when I ate them for breakfast, I had *fecal urgency* within an hour, usually about the time I arrived at work. So, I pretty much stopped...

What are some of the other foods that seem to be causing this? Peppers are nightshades and eggs may cause a reaction similar to one caused by gluten in some people. There might be an inflammatory response that you might be having to these foods. I...
